The Arçelik refrigerator I purchased in April 2020 broke down in June 2025 without any user error. The technician from the authorized service stated that there was likely a pipe crack and gas leak in the rear body. However, despite this diagnosis, no written service report was provided. Moreover, I was told that the refrigerator could not be repaired and that I needed to buy a new one. I later learned from someone close to me that the same issue occurred with another model from Beko, a brand under the Arçelik Group. I believe this could be a chronic manufacturing defect. What disturbed me the most was the technician repeatedly saying, “Well, you should have extended the warranty.” I want to ask: If the product doesn’t even last five years, why is it only covered by a three-year warranty? Why is the consumer forced to purchase an extended warranty in advance as if predicting a malfunction, like insurance? This is not a tea maker for it to be considered normal to break down in three years! Through this process, I request that my product be repaired or replaced free of charge, that a written service report on the malfunction be provided to me, and that the service technician’s evasive and non-instructive attitude be reviewed. I expect this grievance to be resolved by a reputable brand like Arçelik.

The customer representative contacted me. Thank you for the communication despite everything. I was told that I could buy a new product for 20,500 TL. This is an amount that would strain me financially at the moment. I have enough budget to get the product repaired, but unfortunately even outside repairers cannot fix the malfunction. Having to pay 20,000 TL during the most financially difficult period for me due to an irreparable malfunction in a five-year-old refrigerator has been upsetting and exhausting.

"Dear Arçelik Official, The issue we have been dealing with since February 7 continues in a tragicomic manner. Due to both the email I wrote to customer service and my post on şikayetvar.com, since my last message, I have been constantly called and given information about the part replacement appointment, whether they came or not, showing a superficial interest. Whenever I tell each caller about my main issue and the need for the replacement of the cooler, the classic response is, "Believe me, we do not have the authority to make this decision." Let me get to the tragicomic part. Today, the technician (Mr. Abdullah, who is always attentive and concerned) who came for the appointment to replace the motherboard and rear heating pipes was unable to fix the issue because the transformer of the brand new motherboard from the factory arrived BROKEN! (photo attached). For the past two days, the plug has been unplugged to allow the ice in the deep freezer to melt, and the frozen products had to be given to others to prevent them from going to waste as usual. Now, a part order will be placed with the factory again, and we will wait once more. On top of our already dissatisfied situation, this adds to it, and I really can't reconcile these issues with a brand like Arçelik, and I'm at a loss for words. To make our voice heard and explain our problem to find a solution, I want to speak with someone who is truly authorized to make a decision on this matter, rather than customer service consultants who call me and repeat the same template sentences. I will not let go of this issue even after the necessary parts are replaced. Because I know for sure that the same fault will occur again at most by the summer months..."
